Mid-Michigan Coral Expo & Swap - Lansing Swap

The Mid-Michigan Marine Club (MMMC) will be hosting the Lansing swap on Sunday, January 29, 2012. This year, we are happy to announce that it will be co-hosted by the Grand Rapids Marine Aquarium Society (GRMAS). The joint swap promises to be bigger and better with many vendors and an outstanding raffle of livestock and dry goods.

This event has grown into one of the largest reef aquarium events in Michigan. Attendance last year exceeded 450 hobbyists from across the Midwest and included vendors from Michigan and several states outside of Michigan. With the GRMAS, this event will be the largest reef hobby event in Michigan! The combined event is being called Michigan Coral Expo and Swap (MCES). We anticipate a record turnout this year. Vendor's don't wait to get your space reserved table space is limited!
